A Vacation of Hacking
Nothing like some crazy martial arts in the basement to keep a programmer awake. I discovered that I now suck at left reverse hook kicks.
Corona 1.0 is almost out. Corona is probably the only piece of software I have written that I am truly satisfied with.
TWiki is an amazing collaboration tool. I am considering not making traditional web pages again, just using a few customized TWiki installations. Empyrean and ISU GameDev both use it.
Speaking of collaboration, I'm reading a book called Debugging the Development Process. My boss told me that I will likely be a manager wherever I go to work, so I should be prepared. He offered to let me borrow the book over vacation, and I accepted. Mythical Man Month provided a good foundation for managerial thinking, and this book has modern guidelines as well as more concrete examples. I think I might take a few business and management courses as well. We'll see.
Christmas was great. It's my dog's favorite day of the year. ^_^ She waited patiently by her stocking for two hours until the rest of us got up and finally let her start opening gifts.
I got a full spice rack, kitchen towels, two cookbooks, money, a teapot, more silk boxers (woot!), and a bunch of food. Hopefully the cook books will prevent my roommates from yelling "WHAT IS THAT SMELL, CHAD???" when I'm working in the kitchen.
Back to the emacs window. Peace.

Curses, you vile emacs heathen!!
[HTML_REMOVED] forever!!
I did the coolest thing the other day. I wanted to sort a bunch of Python functions, so I selected them and entered M-x sort-paragraphs and emacs sorted them! It is a man's man editor. :)
A real man wouldn't need them sorted in the first place. He'd just "m"ark them and use a two-keystroke motion to jump from function to function. :-)
Oh yeah, I forgot to use this icon when posting.
You're all insane. All a real man needs is notepad.
...but Notepad isn't cross-platform! hehe
